Students at Lund University have faced an exciting technological challenge: developing proof-of-concept 3D printers that could print in chocolate fast. Only after the first chocolate layer solidification the next layer can be printed on top of the first. Fortunately, they weren’t working completely from scratch, as each team was given a low-cost 101Hero 3D printer…
Based on real data from the 3D Hubs platform, the report details 3D printing trends in 4 interesting categories: The highest rated industrial and desktop 3D printed based on customer reviews The most widely used technologies and materials. The popularity of manufacturers and printer models, internationally and on a regional level The top cities and countries doing…
After few years from the successfull low-cost LittleRP 3d Printer, Brad Hill decided to upgrade his resin printer. The new model LittleRP2 introduces a configurable vat, an extended height option, additional controller shield options, added projector compatibility, and more new features and refinements. LittleRP2 is licensed under the Creative Commons BY-SA 3.0 or greater license,…
Take any 3D printer, throw on this modular head, and use it as an EDM machine to do precise metal carving. Exciting stuff! Electro-Discharge Machining or “spark erosion” is a fairly specialized field that not many hobbyists are familiar with. The technique flips traditional electrical design upside down by trying to maximize a phenomenon that…
Ever dreamed of printing larger objects with your own Ultimaker 3D printer? This is the Z-Unlimited. With this amazingly simple add-on you convert your own trusty Ultimaker into a 3D printer with an unlimited extended print-area in height. Check the project on Kickstarter, 123% funded already and one month to gather more pledges! The Z-Unlimited…
Super cool project, all documented and open source! Based on the idea of use standard RepRap 3D printer parts : NEMA17 stepper motors, drivers, Arduino Mega, RAMPS, belts , bearings, rods, printed pieces … I started to develop the project. The main advantage of use these parts is that they are cheap and easily available….
